Study Finds High Rate Of Hepatitis Among Truckers Study Finds High Rate Of Hepatitis Among Truckers Quote: LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- A study by the New Mexico Department of Health shows there are high rates of hepatitis C infection among truck drivers, and many of them aren't aware they have the disease. The medical director for the department's Infectious Diseases Bureau, Steve Jenison, says studies in other countries have linked the spread of sexually transmitted disease to long distance truck drivers, but little is known about the industry in the United States. Jenison said researchers learned that truckers passing through New Mexico don't have higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases, but there was a high rate of hepatitis C infection. Researchers examined sexually transmitted infections, HIV and hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus prevalence and risk behaviors among 652 truck drivers at 11 truck stops in New Mexico between 2004 and 2006. more here>> Study Finds High Rate Of Hepatitis Among Truckers __________________ Click here to learn how to sponsor us

Wow, 652 drivers at 11 trucks stops 3-5 years ago. Perfectly accurate, I'm sure. I guess it takes 3 years minimum to get the results of a test for hepatitis back. That'd be why they withheld the information for so long, right? __________________ The best way to rob a bank is to own one.

I heard about this on the Lockridge Report, and this is a #### study. There's no way it's an accurate study, because the drivers studied all volunteered. So the tools that mess with lizards are gonna say "sure I'll get a free test" and there's the results. Another black eye painted to people like me!
